The Kindest Cuts Dragging your little darling off to the barber shop can be a rather painful ordeal amidst the writhing and kicking and screaming. I, Katy Medina, realized this in beauty school and decided to change things. The gaily decorated shop, Children’s Hair Palace, sets the tone, while the lollipops, comic books and balloons, among other toys, provide just the sort of bribery Kids can understand.

Raintree Story
Some of the children on the cover this month have been adopted by Raintree Foster Parents.
Raintree Children and Family Services has a rich, 89 year history of serving the Greater New Orleans Area. Through the three programs we offer to the community, Raintree is able to enhance the lives of more than 350 children and families each year, supporting our mission of providing needed services to at-risk children and youth, encouraging hope and creating opportunities for growth and independent lives. Raintree’s older program is Raintree House, a group home for fourteen teenage girls in state foster care. Many of the residents have been victims of severe abuse and neglect, and often times, Raintree House is the first safe place they have been able to call home. Raintree also has a traditional foster care program, Raintree Family Care, with more than 20 foster parents in the community who open their doors to children in need. Through this program, a number of our foster parents have cared for hundreds of children who were in need of
shelter with some even adopting. All of the children on the cover this month have been adopted by Raintree Foster parents. Raintree’s final program, Family Support Coordination, helps infants with developmentally delaying conditions to reach age appropriate milestones. Raintree helps coordinate services and has seen success stories of children being able to run who when initially entered in the program were physically unable to crawl. All of these programs are aided by donations and support from the community. Raintree is currently in search of dedicated individuals who are willing to open their heart and home to being a foster parent or adopting. To learn more about our services or becoming a foster parent, please call 504-899-9045.
